Door for an accommodation module, accommodation module and aircraft

Abstract

A door for crew rest compartments of cabins of means of transport comprises a lateral door leaf and a front door leaf as well as a floor element. With the door closed the floor element forms a continuation of the floor of the crew rest compartment. When compared to sliding doors, the cost of manufacture and the weight may be reduced.

The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A crew rest compartment for a cabin of a means of transport, the crew rest compartment comprising:
 a door comprising: 
 a front door leaf; 
 a lateral door leaf connected to the front door leaf at an angle other than 180 degrees; 
 a pivot bearing for pivot-mounting the lateral door leaf; and 
 a stiffening element for reinforcing the connection between the front door leaf and the lateral door leaf; 
 wherein the stiffening element is a floor element arranged in the lower regions of the front and lateral door leaves, and connected to at least one of the door leaves. 
 
     
     
       2. The crew rest compartment of  claim 1 , wherein the front door leaf and the lateral door leaf comprise an angle of 90 degrees to each other. 
     
     
       3. The crew rest compartment of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the floor element comprises a first straight lateral surface connected to the front door leaf; and 
 wherein the floor element comprises a second straight lateral surface connected to the lateral door leaf. 
 
     
     
       4. The crew rest compartment of  claim 1 , wherein the floor element comprises a rectangular base area. 
     
     
       5. The crew rest compartment of  claim 1 , wherein the front door leaf is wider than the lateral door leaf. 
     
     
       6. The crew rest compartment of  claim 1 , wherein a length of the floor element is shorter than a width of the front door leaf so that the front door leaf is not connected over its entire width to the floor element. 
     
     
       7. The crew rest compartment of  claim 1 , wherein the door is configured for opening and closing an entrance region of the crew rest compartment. 
     
     
       8. The crew rest compartment of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a floor; 
 wherein when the door is closed the floor element of the door joins so as to be flush with the floor of the crew rest compartment. 
 
     
     
       9. The crew rest compartment of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a flight of stairs leading to the entrance region of the crew rest compartment; 
 wherein the top step of the flight of stairs does not join the floor of the crew rest compartment so as to be flush. 
 
     
     
       10. The crew rest compartment of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a sidewall; 
 a rear wall; 
 wherein the lateral door leaf is pivotally attached, by the pivot bearing, to the sidewall; 
 wherein with the door closed the front door leaf is arranged laterally beside the rear wall and parallel to it; 
 wherein with the door closed the lateral door leaf is arranged laterally beside the sidewall and parallel to it. 
 
     
     
       11. A means of transport comprising a crew rest compartment, the crew rest compartment comprising:
 a door comprising: 
 a front door leaf; 
 a lateral door leaf that is connected to the front door leaf at an angle other than 180 degrees; 
 a pivot bearing for pivot-mounting the lateral door leaf; and 
 a stiffening element for reinforcing the connection between the front door leaf and the lateral door leaf; 
 wherein the stiffening element is a floor element arranged in the lower regions of the front and lateral door leaves, and connected to at least one of the door leaves. 
 
     
     
       12. The means of transport of  claim 11 , wherein the means of transport comprises an aircraft.
